• Use the adapter only with compatible devices as specified in this manual.
• Do not expose the adapter to moisture, rain, or extreme temperatures.

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the adapter from its packaging.
2. Inspect: Check the adapter and cable for any visible damage. Do not use if damaged.
3. Connect to Tool: Insert the barrel round connector of the adapter's output cable into the charging port of your compatible Stihl 18V Li-ion battery-powered tool (e.g., FSA45, HSA45, BGA45). Ensure a secure connection.

Operating Instructions

Once the adapter is properly connected to both the tool and a power outlet, the charging process will begin automatically. The adapter is designed to deliver 22.5VDC at 0.65A to efficiently charge your Stihl 18V Li-ion batteries.

• Monitor the charging indicator on your Stihl tool (if available) to determine the charging status.
• Disconnect the adapter from the power outlet and the tool once charging is complete.
• Important Note: Rechargeable batteries have a finite lifespan, typically 1 to 3 years. If your battery is old or defective, it may not accept a charge, which is not an indication of a faulty charger.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your adapter:

• Cleaning: Disconnect the adapter from all power sources before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the adapter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use. Avoid wrapping the cable too tightly around the adapter to prevent damage.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the cable and connector for any signs of wear, cuts, or fraying. Replace the adapter if any damage is observed.
